Music: Applied
An applied music course consists of private lessons on a specific instrument or voice and occasional collaborative sessions with a staff accompanist. It will focus on the development of musical skills such as (but not limited to) daily maintenance, tone production, flexibility, articulation, range, technique, phrasing, musicianship, pacing, memorization, performance collaboration (w/accompanist), and stage presence. All of these will be integrated into the study of etudes, solos and standard repertoire. Students will demonstrate their performance skills in juries, studio classes, and/or noon recital performances. All private lessons require a tuition surcharge. See www.cui.edu/musiclessons for details.
